A lorry fire that shut a
motorway for 16 hours after it melted the road is believed to be responsible
for killing more than 100 fish in nearby rivers, the Environment Agency has
said. Tests are being carried out by environmental officers, with the agency
saying the fire caused chemicals to seep into the watercourses. Around 150 fish
were found dead at the river Penk near Stafford, while there were further
reports of dead fish at the river Sow.
